Random Beer Thoughts

Seriously...beets and chocolate? How about just concentrating on keeping Sculpin that's less than 10 months old on the shelf.

Your beer can't get bad on the shelf if if it's never good in the first place.

I was explaining why they're making beet beer instead of sculpin.

I've noticed a number of people bitching about 16 oz cans. Yaw'll have a point. Beer standard should be the 32 oz crowler.

What the **** is this

I like private label (aka generic) ones.

Giant's Watermelon one is great. Aldi's lime one kicks ass.

It's nice not spending $5 on 12 cans of water.

Ain't even scared a no generics.

Harris Teeter make some great store brand ones. My favorite is the Cucumber Melon flavor.

For a minute, I thought this was Photoshopped like those pics of the Cantillon cans.

Then I remembered what brewery was doing this.
Then I remembered what age and time of beer we live in now.

To summarize: **** it all. Bah.

My beer sorbet is ******* delicious. You shut your whore mouth.

Naw just a drunk. Been killing the OM. Got a keg for the kegerator and I just come home and crush that. Feels good to not "think" about the beer while drinking it. #haitus

 

[JCastle1]

it looks more like it's a Side Project beer and not an Evil Twin one.

I'm not sure if that's a good thing.

I need more 24oz hoppy beer in my life.

The way you wrote that, you sound like you're a 16 year old girl. Did you do a hair over the shoulder toss we you hit post reply?

I'm with you on this sentiment though.

My brother-in-law left of those Red Velvets in my fridge so I drank it. It was good for free. Tasted pretty much like a red velvet cake so kudos to them for hitting that mark. Totally a desert beer/pastry stout.

This might belong in the unpopular beliefs thread but...

I think the care over a "birthday bottle" is rather dumb. And especially dumb when it isn't even the year but rather just the day and the month.

Really stretching to add sentimental value.

*If anyone has a '85 Thomas Hardy's for nothing at all, let me know.

I'm kind of with you there, although I did think about doing the birthday beer thing this year (didn't try hard at all though). I suppose it's a bit of a fun gimmick.

I'm going to go one step further into the "unpopular beliefs" pile, and open myself up for the hellfire that can come with saying -anything- about others' parenting decisions, to state that I don't really understand the trend/fascination with getting a birthday bottling for a kids birthday with the intention of saving it until they are 21 (emphasis added - if you want to get a bottle of something special to drink to celebrate your kid's birthday, knock yourself out).

Besides factors like needing to hold on to a bottle that long, the likelihood it becomes oxidized/doesn't taste good, etc., the reason I'm skeptical about this practice is mostly two-fold:

1. Is the thought process here that it will be their first alcoholic drink? Because if they are anything like me or anyone else I know, that's almost certainly not going to be the case.

2. Why make yourself beholden to MADD and the US Department of Transportation in terms of when you decide to share a responsible adult beverage with your kid? Is there a risk I don't know about with regards to getting in trouble with the law here if you share a drink with your kid in the privacy of your own home? I know personally that from my teenage years on (I don't recall exactly when), my parents let me try various alcoholic beverages with them at dinner or other home settings. I think I drank a Campari before I ever tried a beer...

Because why not, that's why.

I had a bottle of 2012 Bigfoot lying around when my kid was born in 2012. Says 2012 on the cap. "HA that would be kinda cool to keep til he's old."

Especially since, if it's that old, it's probably gonna be gueuze and your kid is gonna be like...

I bought a bunch of beers brewed in 2012 as it was the year I got married. Mostly barleywine, wilds and lambic. Been drinking one a year around our anniversary. It's great seeing the differences year to year with the JW Lee's.

Got a bottle of 2014 Old Forrester Birthday Bourbon to drink for my daughter's birthday. I thought of getting a second for when she turns 21, but I'd probably drink it.

I have no real point, just using it as an excuse to drink higher ABV stuff.

I think the one problem with this critique is the assumption that this would be their first alcoholic beverage, or first one with the parents. I would assume most people saving bottles aren't going to be the anal wait till 21 type.

I personally have some bottles (gueuze) saved for 16, 18, and 21. In theory the kids will have at least a mild appreciation for lambic by then. If not, more for me.

It's also a good excuse to exercise some self control in aging some bottles a long time that you otherwise wouldn't. So again, if they don't like it, celebrating with bottle of old gueuze (good or bad) will still be cool.

Also, ****** parenting is probably the answer.
